Hi,
After testing out comparable Vispring mattresses and spending ages reading all the helpful information on your website, myself and my husband had pretty much settled on the Artisan Bespoke 004. However we’ve just realised that as my husband is really really allergic to horses, the horsehair in this mattress might possibly cause some problems. Could you offer any advise on how we could get around this? Is there another very similar mattress without horsehair - we wondered about the Artisan Naturals instead?
Husband is a 14st side sleeper, and I’m 9st back and side sleeper, and we wanted something that felt pretty supportive but with a slight softness on top.
Thank you very much!
Hi B Bamford,
Thank you for reaching out and for spending time reading through our website. I completely understand your concern regarding your husband's horsehair allergy, and I am happy to guide you toward the best alternative.
The Artisan Naturals is actually an excellent alternative to the Artisan Bespoke 004 and is completely horsehair-free. It features an 85% natural fibre blend—utilising wool, cotton, and mohair—giving you a luxury feel without any equine hair. With your husband at 14st and you at 9st, a Medium spring tension would suit you both perfectly, providing appropriate support for your body weights while allowing the top upholstery layers to offer that comfortable, slightly soft feel for side and back sleeping. Please see article here which explains all about spring tensions.
The Artisan Naturals is our most popular, unbeatable model with 85% natural fibres. Containing a huge amount of upholstery as explained here - GSM of fillings, including wool and mohair, on a Calico Pocket spring unit. This medium feel hand crafted mattress is where we stake our reputation as ‘The Mattress Specialists’. The Naturals is described as the 'true medium' of the Artisan Range.
